Chapter 104 - Shopping (1/2)

Han villa.

At the breakfast table, everybody gathered with the special addition of Soo Yunru. He ordered the maids to cook an extra special breakfast this morning. Han Huizhong said, ”Eat up my boy. You look too thin.”

Yunru chuckled. ”I eat plenty, Grandpa.”

Siying beamed. ”Uncle the stew is tasty!” He brought the spoon near his mouth. Today he was stubborn to sit on Yunru's lap and have his breakfast. It wasn't often that Yunru was with them like this.

Yunru hugged him hard in delight. ”I have the best nephew in the whole world.”

Siying blushed and giggled. On the other side, Han Mingli and Han Guang weren't too thrilled seeing him here. Han Guang felt frustrated.

As if Xinyi wasn't enough, her brother is here too! Can these Soo's not give it a rest?

The last one to enter was Zizi. The only place left was to sit beside Yunru. Her heart jumped a beat and she nervously lowered her head.

I hope I don't have any dark circles!

Last night, Zizi wasn't to sleep a wink. She tried hard, but she could only think of Yunru the whole time. Plus his presence in the house and the room next to hers didn't help her.

”Aunty! Sit with us!” Siying furiously patted the oat beside him. She cleared her throat. Suddenly she felt too close. A light fragrance from him wafted up to her nose.

T-this feels too near…Were the chairs always placed so close like this?

Yunru smiled. ”Good morning Princess Han Zizi.”

She jolted and fumbled. ”G-good morning!”

He raised his brow curiously. ”You seem too jumpy for some reason.”

It's because you are so close! I can even smell your cologne. And why is my right side feeling so warm all of a sudden?

To hide her emotions that were confusing and making her conscious, she said, ”Well I have to sit beside a lowly man like you. What else am I supposed to feel?”

Yunru rolled his eyes.

Han Huizhong snorted. ”You will never change huh?”

Zhiyuan and Xinyi didn't comment much. They were unusually quiet after their conversation.

”Ah this old man had been so happy if Yunru were having his breakfast as my grandson-in-law...” He mumbled to himself, but he was loud enough for everybody to hear.

Zizi almost spit out her juice and choked hard. Her face turned bright red. ”Grandpa!”

W-what grandson-in-law? As if I will be his wife!

Yunru shook his head and couldn't help but smile.

Siying giggled. ”Aunty is so red.”

Zizi froze. ”That's not it! Y-You concentrate on your food!” She hid her blushing face as she quickly gobbled up her breakfast.

Han Huizhong glanced at Xinyi. He sneered. ”What happened to my granddaughter-in-law? Has a snake bit you? Your dear brother is here but you aren't even talking.”

”No. Of course not,” Xinyi smiled. ”I was lost in some thought…”

”About how you are fed up with Zhiyuan finally? Great. I got just the solution for you. I have certain papers in my study that you might like. They are really useful-”

”Grandpa,” Zhiyuan shot a cold glare at him. ”Stop it.”

He really hated every time Han Huizhong mentioned the divorce as if it was some joke.

Yunru was a little taken aback but he said nothing.

Xinyi grimaced. ”Grandpa, please. This is not the time.”

Han Huizhong rolled his eyes. ”I was just making the atmosphere more cheerful.”

A while later, the breakfast got over. Yunru stood up. ”Thanks for letting me stay last night and for this wonderful breakfast. I need to leave now.”

Han Huizhong nudged Xinyi. ”This is the time when a sister says that you wish for him to stay here longer. Don't you love him as his sister? Tsk.”

Her brow twitched. ”I think more than me, it's you who don't want to let him go, Grandpa.”

He snorted. ”Nonsense.”

Yunru passed through Zizi and then stopped. ”Thanks for your help last night.”
